Caen saves themselves with a late minute equalizer at Paris. Well deserved too since the ref waved off a perfectly legal goal 2 minutes before (they also missed a penalty).
Bastia and Nancy to L2, Lorient in a playoff matchup against Troyes. Strasbourg and Amiens to L1.

So a great L1 season comes to an end. Great season thanks to Monaco obviously, who played champagne football all the way to the top and with kids too.
Nice is also a great show to watch, thanks to Favre mainly.
But this season will probably pale compared to next :
- Monaco might or might not blow out, but some exciting kids will stay, that's for sure. Maybe even all of them. Plus they have some exciting talents loaned that will come back, including Benasser and St Maximin. And possibly Tielemans coming.
- PSG will do something. Hopefully they change Emery but they will blow out lots of cash on the market too. If they don't lose Verratti (and he seems to be staying at least one more year), they could have an allstar team. If Emery stays however, that could spell trouble.
- Nice is hanging on the hopes Favre doesn't move. If he does, they'll fall down, depsite their exciting youth (who might leave if Favre is going too). If he stays, then they'll challenge for a CL spot.
- Lyon will rebuild. They'll sell, sell, sell. Lacazette, Tolisso, Valbuena, Gonalons. But you can be sure, they'll spend, spend, spend, especially in defense because Aulas will get TONS of money from those sellings.
- OM will also spend a lot, especially on defense. Garcia for a full year is interesting too. Might go back to 4-4-2 as well if they can find two strikers.
- Finally, Lille will be exciting to watch. They'll also spend and have El Loco Bielsa on the bench (or rather in front of it). Any team with El Loco is worth the price of admission.
Exciting summer and likely exciting season to come.

Power Man
Grrrr
So typical this french cup final.
PSG heavy favourites against defensive parking the bus Angers.
If Emery loses, he's fired in a NY minute.
Instead, PSG plays putrid football all game long, and yet win at the 91st minute on a corner kick deflected in by an Angers player for the own goal winner.
Anyway, Maxwell won his 37th title, world record IIRC.
